Mon - Fri  9.30am - 3pm

I am a cognitive behavioural therapist with over 10 years experience. I now run a successful private practice but previously have worked as part of a rehabilitation team, worked alongside CAMHS and the NHS, specialised in anxiety and the management of complex anxiety disorders such as addiction and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders and worked with adult survivors of childhood abuse.  I have worked extensively in schools and colleges offering behavioural support and strategies to young people and children. I have a specialism in working with those on the autistic spectrum. 

CBT is a collaborative talking therapy. I am committed to helping clients achieve their life goals and make positive changes in the way that they think and behave.

From complex therapy to preparing for an interview or public speaking, CBT is a proven model of intervention for those wishing to take control of their thoughts.

I offer a range of CBT interventions suitable for age and circumstances and work from a private quiet environment.

An initial session with me is an assessment of the clients needs, wants and hurdles. If we both feel I am the person to help, I will then send a counselling contract explaining my fees and terms and conditions of working.
